Re: Configuring wireless edge module to work with RADIUS and active directory?

radius is a protocol.you need some service to connect your devices to an authentication server.

Your AD-controller itself is not a radius server!you need an extra service (like MS-IAS = internet authentication service, or cisco secure ACS) on a server wich receives radius-requests,authenticates with AD and respond back to the networking device.I think MS advices to install the IAS service on another host than the domain-controller.

Re: Configuring wireless edge module to work with RADIUS and active directory?

Hello Nic,

You can either use the local RADIUS on the WESM and/or an external IAS RADIUS server. If you would like to use the internal RADIUS server, but use data from your current Active Directory, I believe you would need an LDAP server for the user information.

Depending on the number of user accounts and groups you have in Active Directory, you might consider either pointing the WESM to the current IAS server and add the WESM as a RADIUS client, or you could manually enter your users and groups in the WESM and use the internal RADIUS.
